UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2,013,175 LINER Fon CONTAINERS Bernard Rous, Brooklyn, N. Y. Application December 24, 1932, Serial No. 648,747 1 claim. (C1. 22a- 14) This invention relates to liners for containers.

The object of the invention is the production of a liner which can be easily inserted into a container. The second object of the invention is the production of a liner which can be shipped with all its members and portions unfolded to a plane, and which can be easily folded in place in a container.

In the accompanying drawing Fig. l repre- `sents a plan view of one form of the liner with all its members positioned in one plane; Fig. 2 shows a plan View ci the liner with its main member or body portion in one plane and its other members in planes at right angles thereto; Fig. 3 is a top View of a container with the liner therein folded in place and a portion `of the cover i the container broken away; Fig. i indicates an enlarged section of Fig. 1 on the line il, Il; Fig. 5 shows an enlarged fragmentary portion of Fig. 1; Fig. 6 is a section of Fig. 5 on the line E, 6 and Fig. 7 shows a vertical section of thecontainer partly broken away.

Referring to the drawing the liner is indicated with the main corrugated member or body portion iii), having the pair of corrugated side members iii, in hinged connection and integral therewith. Dents are indicated at Bil. The body portion Si) is extended at both ends to form the end members Se. The side edges of the end members 65 are at right angles to the adjacent ends of the side members 6 l, to form a symmetrical figure. Creases 66 or openings are formed between' the main member 66 and the end members 65. A backing l@ of paper or other flat material is secured to the outer faces of all the members and is indicated with the side projecting portions or side flaps H having the scalloped ends l2. The container for the liner is indicated having the bottom member Sli and the top member 8 I.

To insert the liner into the container, the side members 6| and the end members 65 are bent up and the liner is inserted into the bottom member 8E) of said container. The candy or other material is then inserted into the liner and the aps li are turned down and the container may then be closed with the top member Bl.

The side flaps 'li may have straight ends not shown. Also one of the flaps il may have a scalloped end as 'l2 and its accompanying flap may have a straight end.

It will be noted side flaps l! when in operative 10 position are parallel to the main body portion 68 to cover the candy or other material supported by the liner.

It will be noted that the scalloped ends 'l2 of the side naps li do not only impart to said flaps an ornamental appearance, but provide said ilaps with means whereby they can be easily swung to vertical positions when the liner is to be opened.

Various modifications may be made in the inv vention and the present exempliiication is to be taken as illustrative and not limitative thereof.

Having described my invention what I desire to secure by Letters Patent and claim is:

A liner for a container comprising a body portion of corrugated material, a pair of side members integral with and in hinged connection with said body portion, an end member extending from each end of said body portion and in hinged connection therewith, the si-de edges of the end members at right angles to the adjacent ends of the side members to form a symmetrical figure, a backing of thin paper secured to all the members, side iiaps integral with said backing extending beyond said side members, and scalloped ends integral with saidrside naps, said side members and end members adapted to be positioned at right angles to said body portion and said flaps adapted to be folded parallel to said body portion and positioned at right angles thereto by grasping them at their scalloped ends.

BERNARD ROUS.
